A REPOR.~_.~.
PROPOS ELIMINARY PLAT dF -
EME FOREST PHASES 8,9,
on January 4, 1990 the Planning and Zoning Commission
reconsidered the pre~iousl'y tabled preliminary plat-fore the
development of Emerald Forest phases 8 , 9 , 10 and 11. The
plat was brought to the Commission by the developer of er
City Council had decided to participate in the coast-:of
channel work and oversize bridge construction necessary to
extend ~ppomatox into this new section.
On Novermber 29, 1989 the City Council approved a motion
directing staff to.." negotiate with the developer, Allen
Swoboda using the theoxy that the City pay 100 drainage
cost and u~ to approximately 45~ bridge cost; anal if the
cost is over the figures presented in the late t proposal,
it must be iustfed by bid", 'Included in the motion was
the stsement 1.."that the plat is: submitted on the basis
that North Forest PArkway will be developed in the future as
an additional outlet for the`subdivi ion". This access was
to consist of a street that ~ extended from 'the east-ern
boundary of the subdivision to'th~.East. By-pass frontage
road.
At the January 4th meeting the Planning and Zoning
Commission tabled consderat~.on of the plat .and directed
staff: tc research specific items related to the plat and
report their findings. These areas of concern include:
1. Whether- the collector shorn along the north
boundary of the plat (North Forest Parkways needs to be
.reflected on the Thoroughfare Plan and if so, what
should the exact location be.
2 . The impact of truck traffic to and from the Waste
Waver Treatment Plantf~rtWTP) throu~hthe existing
neighborhood.
3. The impact of tie WWTP on future residences shown ;
on this. plat and whether buffering is appropriate.
These areas are .examined below.
STREET NEED AND LaCATION:
The City of College Station's Throuahfare Plan reflects
approximate locations for future streets. This plan is
schematic. in nature, identifying routes or corridors for
future streets. Specific locations are typically identified
d~~_~: r ing the deve l o~~~~ent review -proo~ s .
/~
~~~
To respond to the commission's request relative to the
a~proprate location for: the future street it is necessary to
go beyond the level of study conductedfar the original
Thoroughfare Plan. This is done by investigating various
factors which affect specific street. locations.
To ography and other physical factors such. as flood plains
p
and creeks should be taken into consideration. Streets
should be laved out so as to minimize bridges and other
structures (drainage, etc.). Topography can also impact
sa~tey, such. as sight di tance at intersections. Physical
factors present in this case allow flexibility in the street
location.
1.
Utility conflicts also impact preferred routes. These
conflicts are minimal in this case as the.area is lar'aely
undeveloped.
conflicts with strut ures and residences-are also minimal
due to the undeveloped natture of the area.
Location along property lines can have advantages in cost
sharing of either development costs or street-assessments.
Disadvantages of-locations along property lines can occur
when one property develops prior to the other. T°his
situation cane also limit the ~it~'s obility to extend
streets through assessment programs if the area along one
side of the roadway has access via other streets. The
enhanced value to a property of providing a second access
point is diminished.
Relationships to future and existing land uses and u~timate
street function were con idered when the mute.. was
incorporated into the Thoroughfare Plan. Additionaly,
relationships to the areawide street system were 'also
considered.
Development timing is a factor that impacts the location of
streets. New development may generate the need for a
street. If so the new development should install the
street.. Typically a street installed in this fashion is
located so that the development cost per lot. is at the
lowest possible level.
The commission requested that the demand for the street be
identified. Demand or need for a collector as an alternate
access route becomes necessary when factors are such that
the pro~rision of the collector will reduce congestion and
internal travel volumes by providing alternate routes, .will
disperse the impact of development on the external road
system, will provide alternate routes far emergency
ve':~cles, will provide continuity ir: the internal stc. yet
system for service delivery and' maintenance, will oro~ide
f
r$
a
residents with an alternate apen exit in casetheother exit
is blocked and when its provision will provide the greatest
traffic efficiency and opportunity for residents to get
where they want to go by the shorest possible route.
Comparision of the projected traffic volume versus the
carrying capacity of existing streets can.~indcat~ the need
for additional streets or improvements to existing.streets.
Impact studies submitted by the developer identify adequate
capacity in existing streets bused on street width only and
do not take into account interruptions into traffic flow due
to turning movements and through traffic. Further study may
show a~need for striping or signalization at various
locations. This need may be significantly different
depending on whether North Forest Parkway is constructed,
thus relieving Emerald Forest Parkway as the sale access
into the subdivision. If Emerald Forest Parkway remains the
sole access far the subdivision further considerastion must
be given to the environmental a pests of additional traffic
movement through the existing neighborhood.
A development such as the one under consideration can impact
service delivery and public saftey as well as traffic
volumes. The Commission requested comment from service and
emergency service delivery departments of the City and these
comments a-re attached- in the. form of memos from those
departments. In summary. the comments from police, fire. and
sanitation indicate a desire fbr an alternate route to be
established with the development of these new phases of the
subdivision.
As indicated above an analysis of the costs and benefits of
developing a street can be weighed against the..estmated
value of savings to the users of the facility. Savings are
typically the value of time and vehicle operating costs s
.saved by use. of the new facility as it ,allows residents to
get to their destinations by -the, shortest -route passible.
Such an anal~rss is beyond the resources available for this
review.
TRUCK TRAFFIC IN .THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
Resolve routing of trucks to WWTP
Issue -Desire to keeb TP trucks of residential street (?
can we assume this to be street with residences fronting?}
~~~ want to keep -;uch trucks separate from reside;n'~ ~ al
traffic, etc. The issue heare is riot just the oder or noise
d
associated with such trucks. The-issue also includes the
"common" airport scenario, where a facility is built away
from development. Development occurs near the facility, the
the impac s associated with the facility become political
a.ssues.
Problems-
Keeping traffic off of ewer plant road (Green Valley Drive
Syndrome)
Problems (Complaints, etc) hake occurred in other cities
~rhere reside tal areas have gown up around municipal
facilities, creating residential streets out of the access
routes into and out of the facility.
Separation of traffic tkeepina pub of off sewer plant road)
will become more difficult in the future, after Appomatox
crosses the road.
Canter Creek limits routes to the east.
Traffic may (w l 1) increase if 4 when )~ lend application of
sludge ends.
BUFFERING:
The Commission expressed concern about the proximity of the
pr®pos'ed development to the existing haste .Water Treatment
Plant. These cancernscentered on the impacts an future
residences from plant noise and odors and+the impacts on
future plant expansion.' Staff was directed to investigate
the app icablty under current1laws and local ordinances of
requiring additional buffer area between the two uses.
Under current laws there is adequate buffer re wired on the
~ ~
Waste Water Treatment Plant site itself. Thy Department of
Health requires sepa-ration between this type o~f use and
residential uses of 150 feet from the plant facility to the
residential properties. Current City codes and ordinances
do not provide for obtaining additional land to act as a
buffer..without compensation to the land owner. Theis
includes whether the. land is required to remain vacant or is
limited to some other ty e of land use mare com atible with
p p
the area merit plant facility.
CONCLUSIONS:
LOCATION AND NEED:
After review of the factors which determine the best
~I loco}ion far the stre~± it is found that there is latt?tude
~~
~ r~
ti
as to exact location. The street could be moved either
Werth or south along Appomatax.
The need for the street should be based on safteyand
service delivery factors, average and peak traffic volumes,
efficient and time effective routine far residential traffic
and conformance with the thoroughfare plan. From a safety
and service. delivory_standpoint the _need for the street is
created with this developnent. Conformance with the
thoroughfare plan is achie~red with the requirment for the
street and residential traffic generated from this new
development would be given a more efficient acess route with
the provision o~ the collector street. Because this
development creates a'need for the additional street it
should be located such that this development provides that
street.
TRUCK TRAFFIC:
Development of a road configured like North Forest Parkway
would allow the current and future traffic from the'WWTP to
avoid the existing portion of Emerald Forest Parkway.
Access to North Forest Parkway tram residential lots shouyld
be avoided not only because residential acre s to colectars
should be limited but because of the WWTP truck traffic as
well.
Specific access during and otter development will require
coordination be ween the developer, the. City attorney's
affice and. the Water and Sewer Division. This wit-1 have to
be addressed as a part of the final plat review for each
phase of the subdivision.
BUFFERING:
Bufferrinq currently rewired under existng regulations is
provided on the WWTP site at this time. To require
additional buffering would constitute a taking and would
require compensation.
